Yin Yang Tomb Raider

Chapter 350 Hand in Hand, Shang Gong

The Qingzi jade coffin is very clean, and after the human body is buried, there will be a process of decay. During this process, corpse fluid will be produced, and the smell of rancidity is inevitable. Although the smell coming from inside is pungent, the inside of the coffin is very smelly. It was clean, and the bones were well wrapped in a pure white shroud, with a serene face. Judging from the clothes, it was a female corpse.

The skin and flesh were all peeled off, and it was very clean. There was only a skeleton in the coffin without any flesh. Lao Jiu sniffed: "It's really cruel to artificially peel off the flesh with medicine."

"Anyway, there is only a skin before death." I said, "But looking at the clothes, apart from being a female corpse, we can also judge that this woman is a woman from the harem of the Ming Dynasty."

The reason why it can be seen at a glance is that this person is from the harem of the Ming Dynasty. In addition to the queen, the harem level of the Ming Dynasty also includes the ranks of imperial concubine, noble concubine, concubine, concubine, nobleman, talented person, chosen servant, and lady.The titles of concubines in the harem of the Ming Dynasty were: Xian, Shu, Zhuang, Jing, Hui, Shun, Kang, Ning, and there were also noble concubines, who were above all concubines.Below the empress and concubine, there are miscellaneous concubines, and they are called Jieyu, Zhaoyi, nobleman, beauty and so on.In the [-]th year of Jiajing period, nine concubines were set up in the antique book: De concubine, Xian concubine, Zhuang concubine, Li concubine, Hui concubine, An concubine, He concubine, Xi concubine, and Kang concubine, all under the concubine.

There are two forms of phoenix crowns in the Ming Dynasty. One is worn by concubines. In addition to phoenixes, there are also decorations such as dragons and Hui on the crowns.For example, the queen's crown is decorated with nine dragons and four phoenixes, twelve large flowers and twelve small flowers each; the imperial concubine's phoenix crown has nine phoenixes and four phoenixes, nine flower hairpins and nine small flowers, and then five. Although this woman is not a queen or imperial concubine Yes, but there is a tree on the crown, it should be a female official.

In the fifth year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, due to the excessive number of female officials in the 24 divisions of the six bureaus since the Tang Dynasty, it was changed to six bureaus and one division.The six bureaus are: Shanggong, Shangyi, Shangfu, Shangshi, Shangshui, and Shanggong. This woman should be in the first division of the six bureaus.

"It's a female officer." Lao Jiu said in a deep voice, "Look at the other one."

The East China Sea and the South China Sea couldn't wait any longer, they opened the lid, saw the male corpse inside, sobbed in unison, Batu sighed: "That's how blood melts into water, so what after hundreds of years, blood relationship The continuation is hidden in the bones, but why should they shed the flesh?"

Batu also noticed it, and Lao Jiu said: "Generally, there are two situations. One is to prevent the corpse liquid from making the coffin filthy. After cleansing, the second is because of some religious reasons, which will vary from person to person, the situation of these two people is more inclined to the former, to be together cleanly after death?"

My eyes were on the two hands holding each other tightly, the bones of the hands were intertwined, and the five bones were intertwined without gaps. Through the gaps between the bones of the hands, Lao Jiu and I clearly saw the drum The thing that got up, "Yu Chan?" I subconsciously said, "Maybe it's the Eight Swords of Han Dynasty."

Batu was not afraid of the bones, so he directly looked at them from a close distance, and said, "It's silkworm chrysalis amber."

Silkworm chrysalis amber? !Lao Jiu stepped forward and tried to break the bones of the hands of the two, but he couldn't open them at all. The firm will of the two was passed down from life to death. Hundreds of years are still pervasive in this tomb. Seeing Lao Jiu wants to break, Nanhai Said: "Stop."

Lao Jiu stopped resentfully: "Fuck me, I just want to see if it's a pair of silkworm chrysalis amber."

I used a flashlight instead of a headlight to call over. My hands were too tightly intertwined, and I could only vaguely see the appearance of amber. I couldn’t tell if it was the appearance of a silkworm chrysalis. Lao Jiu raised his head: "Batu, I can only see part of it." , you assert that it is silkworm chrysalis amber?"

Batu said calmly: "Although you can only see part of it, there is no doubt about the amber. You should also know that Khitan people like to use silkworm chrysalis and amber as funeral objects. Coupled with the posture of these two ancient corpses, they are clearly lovers or husband and wife. Holding silkworm chrysalis and amber in your hand is not unusual.”

He knew that Lao Jiu was testing him, but he remained calm and composed. Lao Jiu looked at his face carefully, and finally shrugged: "Don't look at my slovenly appearance, I am also very romantic in my bones. Since I have a lover, don't bother me." their peace."

"Old Nine, Lin Tianyi, there is an epitaph." Meng Luo pointed his finger at the wall: "It's Chinese characters."

East China Sea and South China Sea walked over together. Although some characters were different from the current simplified characters, ninety percent of them could recognize them. Ling Qi's identity was the commander of the imperial guards in the Ming Dynasty palace, and the woman's identity was indeed a Shangguan. The two were not married during their lifetime, because there were too many factors in the palace that made it impossible for the two to get married, and Lingqi's most important task in the palace, besides protecting the emperor's safety, was to collect the list of Khitan descendants across the country and integrate the genealogy .

Seeing this, Donghai and Nanhai looked at each other, and Batu said: "Although the imperial palace is not free, it is a place where power is concentrated. He can use the resources inside to do what he can do."

I said: "Look at the back, he also had other intentions for contacting this Shanggong, but he didn't expect to fall in love with each other for a long time, and the two fell in love in the palace compound. Their family background, he focused on the family background of the soldiers and the eunuchs of the palace. The abilities of the two complemented each other. After that, Shang Gong continued to stay in the palace, and Ling Qi tried to leave the palace to officially make a family tree. He spent 30 years Time has found the descendants of Yelvbe's family, and of course not all of them have been found, but these people have been passed down and recorded in the genealogy."

"This is the source of the genealogy." Lao Jiu was quite emotional: "People nowadays have no concept of family. In many people's eyes, genealogy is just a list, but the magic of bloodlines passed down from generation to generation and the cohesion of the family are all Included in it, Ling Qi persistently made a family tree after learning of his blood origin, this persistent ability..."

Lao Jiu couldn't go on anymore. He was alone and never thought that he would be affected by his family. When he thought of himself, he suddenly realized that he was quite pitiful. Not only did he not know where his parents were, but there was also a family in this world. Are you waiting for your return?I was immersed in a feeling of sadness, Nan Hai said stunned: "Look, it says that he captured the ancient rhinoceros with the help of strange people, and peeled off the skin of the ancient rhinoceros."

"Strange person?" I shuddered, and quickly looked down. The text on it was written by Ling Qi in advance, and then engraved on the wall by his cronies or family members. His tone was very similar to his own. He said it himself. After that, the palace spent 30 years to find the descendants of Khitan, who had the same blood as himself, and got help from capable people and strangers in the process of making the genealogy. Sheepskin cowhide is better.

"Who is this guy? Why did he help our ancestors for no reason?" Nan Hai's brain was active, and he immediately said, "There is no free favor in this world. You help us only because Uncle Jiu is our fellow clan."

"That's right, judging from the second half, this person also helped Ling Qi in the process of searching for the descendants of Khitan, and then helped him find the ancient rhinoceros." Batu said: "Could it be that in the Ming Dynasty there were still Did ancient rhinos exist?"

The rhinoceros skin has been handed down, so there is no fake. I shook my head. Some of the legendary beasts have disappeared. The ancient rhinoceros also existed thousands of years ago or even tens of thousands of years ago. Could it be that they still survive in a certain corner of the earth? ?Who is this person who helped Lingqi?The magic of this person is comparable to that of the strange person who helped Li Yuanhao build the tombs of the Nine Dynasties. Something moved in my heart, and a thought came to me involuntarily—could it be the same?
No, no, the dynasty is completely wrong, how could it be the same person?I was annoyed by my outrageous idea, and the voice of the old nine came from my ear: "Even if there is, it is incredible to catch the ancient rhinoceros. The skin of the ancient rhinoceros is hundreds of times thicker than that of ordinary rhinoceros, so it is sharp. I can't think of a way to pierce the skin even if I grab it, but can you think of it?"

I clearly heard the sound of everyone swallowing saliva together - "Gudong", Lao Jiu suddenly punched me: "Why are you swallowing so loudly?"

I was dumbfounded, and before I could speak, Nan Hai said: "Also, you see, there are follow-ups. After making the genealogy, the ancestor was already over 50 years old. At this time, he returned to the palace with the genealogy. I don't know what method he used. Shang Gong took him out of the palace, and the two returned to the countryside to experience short-term happiness and found their son."

It turned out that the two had secretly conceived a baby when they were in the palace, Shang Gong secretly sent the child out of the palace, and only after the two reunited did they find him back. After the two got together, they spent five years, two days and one day. Once he passed away, he was buried here, and the genealogy was handed down from generation to generation by the two sons. After a rough life, the two finally joined hands here. The strange person expressed his gratitude, that person not only helped him, but also helped him design a place for him to stay after death, and he will be buried here forever...

We were suddenly surrounded by a strange feeling. No one spoke easily. Everyone stood in front of the wall and fell into deep thought. After an unknown amount of time, Nan Hai turned around and walked to the side of the coffin, closing the coffin lid silently. It is really not easy for the corpses to stay together after most of their lives. The silkworm chrysalis and amber are not moving at all because of their friendship.

Seeing Nan Hai's movements, Dong Hai also moved and helped him close the coffin lid. We couldn't stand still, so I took a picture of the words on it first, and then went to help close the coffin. At that time, Mr. Jiu made a new discovery. There were some Khitan characters on Qing Ziyu's coffin platform. Because they were on the side and out of sight, they were not noticeable at all. Appeared under the influence of...
